The Ethics of Web Performance

Tim Kadlec

My home internet connection gives me somewhere around 3 Mbps down. Hardware gets better, sure. In a 2012 paper, The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy estimated the internet uses 5 kWh on average to support every GB of data. It seems blazingly fast compared to the 0.42 It makes sense.
